Merci.

Demus has the deepest reading of the WTK known to me. For better sound one needs to get his old Westminster recordings as reissued on CD.

Very fine thank you!

Joerg's performance of the G# minor fugue I would describe as "the voices of angels," to borrow the words of the late, great Luise Vosgerchian.

I had not heard of this pianist before until today when i heard his amazing C# Prelude-872. It is quite inspired. I am tempted to give a go at restoring the audio here, and even pitching it down to A-432 (I believe this is at standard A-440, but I'm not at my piano at the moment. My guess is that this video was taken from a VHS video-cassette.

one of my favorite pieces to practice on the piano. As an added bonus, the first recording of the WTC I ever heard was complements of Jorg Demus. Thus, as one pulled into the WTC orbit as naturally as any self-resecting celestial mass by Demus, I have taken to many of his interpretations, and strive to replicate the spirit thereof during practice sessions.

In the Ab Prelude, Joerg plays like his teacher, Michelangeli -- only with more oxygen.

far better than GG

I am glad someone else thinks so. We are few and far between, strange to say!
